I just thought I’d share the beautiful sunflowers that have popped open in our garden. They are almost eight feet tall and are so beautiful in the evening and morning sun. I have to admit that gardening is one of my most favorite things about owning a home.

Well after 7 plus years of faithful service my Bessie is finally leaving us. I’m sure Carmax will fix her up and find a good home for her. I bought her in late 2003, for a good deal. It was my first taste of negotiation and bargaining. Needless to say I was hooked after that. We turned Bessie and her keys over last night. Here is my final snapshot with my girl.

So what will we be driving now? Well… read more »

We are so very happy for her and Chauncey and can’t wait to meet the little guy. Yep, I said guy. They know its a boy! I was tickled, as I’m ready to break out the boy colors.

Well after crazy errand running this morning we made it to Lisa and Davids to meet Annabelle. She is the cutest thing! She looked just like David, but you could see a bit of mom in her too. We were so happy for them, and she is such a happy baby. We stayed and cooed for a few hours and then pulled ourselves away. We hope to drop in again this week. For now here is my only sneak peek!

IIIIIIIITTTSSS Wednesday! So this blog is just plain interesting. It is a photography meets fashion blog. The writer and photographer is Scott Schuman. Before The Sartorialist he worked in sales and marketing for high-end women’s designer collections such as Valentino and distribution companies like Onward Kashiyama, which at that time represented designers like Helmut Lang and Jean-Paul Gaultier. Eventually he opened his own showroom specializing in sales and press for young designer collections like James Coviello and Peter Som. Apparently he left his position as director of men’s fashion at his showroom to take care of his daughter, he began carrying a digital camera around and photographing people he saw on the street whose style he found striking. He then posted these to his blog.  He is well known for photographing what have been described as ‘real people.’

I’m in love folks, read more »

David and Lisa’s bundle of joy arrived today!!! At 1:15 pm Annabelle Lily came into this world, weighing a whopping 8lbs 3oz and measuring in at 19.5 in long. I hear she has a head full of dark hair and that her parents melted the moment they saw her. Mom is a bit tired, as is Dad, but all are doing well!

Congratulations Friends!!! We are so very happy for the two of you. We can’t wait to meet her!
